I drove to Salida on Thursday- the first day of the paint out to get Coni and my panels stamped and to get some painting done because I knew that I would have a hard time getting to the paint out as much as I wanted. After getting the packet and everything stamped, I went to the river to paint . The Arkansas River goes right through Salida and the town has done a very good job utilizing the river for rafting and sight seeing. I painted this in the middle of the afternoon.
After finishing the river scene, I decided to start heading home and do another painting on the way. I took the road up Marshall Pass and turned onto Poncha Creek Road- this was a beautiful view of Ouray Mountain and I was drawn to the drama of the draws that I could see from this viewpoint.
